About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to become an awesome writer

ABOUT ME

i am a freelance journalist & part-time lecturer in South Africa. I write political satire to sports reports to film reviews. I will write about anything that interests me! I am relaxed and looking to expand my perspective and scope of travel, experiences and friendships. What an exciting prospect this couch surfing presents!

PHILOSOPHY

the man who wants nothing is invincible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i am currently travelling and hoping to get a place to crash in some of the places in end up in. i think this is the most fluid expression of the human spirit - people opening their hearts and homes because they feel like and not because of material gain. how can i not want to be part of this?
